About this Vendor

Honest and Fresh Wedding Photojournalism

Based in Schenectady, New York, Danielle Gardner provides honest and artistic photojournalist images for couples in Upstate New York and beyond! After working as a photojournalist for Sun-Times Media in Chicago and documenting over 70 amazing weddings for Chicago wedding studios, I am pursuing my dream and opening my own wedding photography studio! While my approach to your wedding is photojournalistic, all my images are informed by an artistic aesthetic. I give my very best to every wedding that I have the honor to document. In addition, I celebrate all love and welcome LGBTQ weddings and events. I also love documenting weddings for couples of diverse cultures and faiths. If you like honest images informed by art send me a message and let's work together!

She recommended a time of day for the shoot that produced pictures in the most beautiful natural light and chose a setting that was both interesting and matched our style.
